I can’t make the decision
Some days I am sure I have alternate personalities, I can feel so strongly about something one day but change my mind the next.
Its the sheer indecision that breaks me most of the time though, right down to what to wear or what to do.
Hours of my life are spent not knowing what to wear, often I get myself so worked up over simple every day tasks that it seems almost pointless leaving the house.
It isn’t fun going to see my friends anymore as I just dread that same day old problem what to wear, I end up breaking down amongst a pile of clothes on the floor.
Why can I not do the simplest of every day tasks without just crippling myself with worry and indecision.

My best friend went through something very similar about a year ago.
I remember getting a hysterical call from her and not being able to understand what was wrong.
When I turned up at her house I found her sprawled out in the middle of the floor sobbing her heart out.
It was then I found out the real reason why she had been cancelling meeting up with me so much recently.
We both know now thought that she was suffering from low self-asteem and her anxiety was making her
unable to make everyday decisions.
Im so glad I was there to help her through it, if im honest had she not of called me that day I probably would
still be none the wiser.
It is easy to try not to burden people with your problmes or feel they may laugh at you or think your strange. We do have to remember that this is exactly what friends and family are for.

Man! I thought I was the only one who couldn’t make a decision. I have dysthymia depression and ADD. I start worrying what I am going to wear the night before and then I obscess about it over and over. I have to look perfect. I have low self-esteem and it drives me crazy.
Thank you for posting this, I don’t feel so alone.

I had a very bad experience today all because I could not make up my mind. I went shopping for groceries by myself for the 1st time in about 6 years. Everything was so confusing, plus the store was redesigned since the last time I was there. I can hardly get out of my house due to anxiety and depression. It will be hard to grocery shopping again with anybody.
I don’t have anymore friends. No one understands my problem that I know. Being African-American, no one understans my daily life struggles because I am told I just have the blues and pray. I do pray, which they do not understand because they feel as if I prayed I would not have this problem.
I have to take my medicine, but my family does not want me to take the drugs. I feel as if I have to have my meds or I will get very sick again.
So nice to find someone else with the same issues of anxiety and getting out of the house.
